Careers advice

There are many factors to consider when choosing your course. One that most students believe is key is how the course they are choosing will affect their future employability. The employability and enterprise team is based in the Mesyios, and has experienced advisers who can speak with you about your course options even before you have started at Mesyios College.

This advice and support continues throughout your time here, and for three years after you graduate. For example, we work with course teams to make sure employability is embedded in your curriculum, we create great online resources, we offer workshops on popular subjects throughout the year, and much more.

Our most successful graduates get relevant work experience right from the start of their course. We can help with this very important element of your study. Please browse the pages in this section for an overview of what we offer to our students and graduates. We hope the page explaining some of the stats and jargon you will see on the course description pages will be helpful to you in your decision-making.
